Don't know if anyone said this (skipped more than one hundred posts), but i think i know where the delay might come from.

This is what Aonuma said in 2013:
"Our mission in developing this new Zelda game for Wii U is quite plainly to rethink the conventions of Zelda. I'm referring to things like the expectation that the player is supposed to complete dungeons in a certain order, or that you're supposed to play by yourself."

We already Aonuma talk about the dungeon part but we never heard anything about not playing alone part.

Something came to mind: the new Nintendo network made by DeNa.
It's a platform that will connect several devices includin Wii U! Problem is that the new online infrastructure won't be coming out before Fall.

What if Aonuma and his team saw what the infrastructure would allow for and came up with even better ideas for that second goal?
If that is the case, it could explain why the game will not make the 2015 release date.

All the existing online play wiiu titles seem to contradict this theory entirely,  as does miiverse. 

It's not much a theory as it is speculation.
It's really hard to know exactly if i'm wrong or right because we didn't even know what Aonuma meant and we don't even know what they are adding on.

I just thought it might make sense if it was because of the new account system, with people being able to use other devices for something and then transferring whatever happened to the game through the account. Something like that.

I don't think co-op or leaving messages like in ZombiU - if that was what you meant - was the only thing that Aonuma had in mind.
Miiverse is still too restrictive.
